I respect your opinion, but I disagree entirely with it.
Hull set records for goals and points in a single season at the time playing in a pretty strong era against the 1950s and 1960s Canadiens dynasties plus the 1960s Maple Leafs dynasty, some of the most dominant teams the sport has ever seen. Winning Stanley Cups during Hull's prime would thus have been impossibly difficult before 1970, and his Chicago Blackhawks still managed one in that time.
Aside from hardware, Hull was a more physical player than Ovechkin, a better playmaker, better puck handler, much better in transition, a MUCH superior two-way player (if the Selke had been around when he played he would have received nominations at least, if not won one or more), has shown tremendous durability playing in the NHL at 41 (after beasting in the WHA for Winnipeg for years as a 33+ year-old player), was more ''clutch'' and was way tougher (and dirtier) than Ovechkin has ever been.
Ovechkin is a better goalscorer than Hull though, I'll give you that.
The only way Ovechkin could have been better than Howe all-time is if he actually played very stout defense throughout his career while putting up the same numbers or better than he did.
As a person though, Ovechkin is a hundred times better than Bobby Hull, who was not, by any stretch of the imagination, a good guy.
I leave you this article to illustrate these last claims.
